NECROPHOBIC: - NEW ALBUM "MARK OF THE NECROGRAM" OUT ON FEBRUARY 23RD, 2018, COVER ARTWORK REVEALED

The return of Satan’s scornful legions!

“Mark Of The Necrogram” is the title of NECROPHOBIC’s upcoming new studio album, which is set to be released on Century Media Records on February 23rd, 2018.

Following the path of true Satanic death metal ever since their genesis in 1989, NECROPHOBIC look back on a discography filled with classics, be it the band’s infamous debut album “The Nocturnal Silence” (1993), the sinister “Bloodhymns” (2002) or the all-engulfing beast “Death To All” (2009). “Mark Of The Necrogram” is NECROPHOBIC’s first album on their new label home Century Media Records, and it marks another step up on the staircase to the death metal throne, delivering sorrow-laden melodies of musical mastermind Sebastian Ramstedt, furious riffs of rhythm guitarist Johan Bergebäck, the pounding bass of Alexander Friberg, battering war drums by the band’s heart and soul Joakim Sterner and the demonic voice of Anders Strokirk who reunited with the band more than 20 years after the release of “The Nocturnal Silence”.

“Mark Of The Necrogram” comes with an eerily monumental cover artwork of Kristian “Necrolord” Wåhlin, with whom the band hasn’t been working together since the release of the second album “Darkside”.

Norway's melodic extreme metallers SUSPERIA, comprising former members of Dimmu Borgir and Satyricon will return with their long-awaited first full-length studio album since 2009, titled "The Lyricist", on March 16th via Agonia Records.

Cover design and artwork was prepared by Vincent Fouquet, Above Chaos.The first single together with pre-orders and album formats will be revealed in January 2018!

Sean Reinert has officially exited CYNIC after reaching a settlement with Paul Masvidal regarding the rights to the band's name.

The drummer's latest move comes more than two years after he announced via Facebook that the progressive rock innovators had "come to an end" due to the fact that his relationship with Masvidal had become "toxic."

On Saturday, Reinert took to his Facebook page to reveal that he had worked out an "arrangement" with Masvidal that would allow Paul to "continue with CYNIC" while Sean would carry on with his "personal projects."

Reinert wrote: "Today I post with a heavy heart, but also a lightened spirit. A settlement has been reached between Paul and I in regards to CYNIC. I am unable to disclose any of the details regarding this agreement but I am at peace with the arrangement. I am going to step aside from CYNIC and continue with my personal projects — Paul is going to continue with CYNIC and his.

"I want to take this last Facebook post as an opportunity to humbly thank all of the musicians, engineers, technicians, companies, booking agents, managers, crew, press, labels and friends that I've worked with (and will likely continue to) over this past 30-year span.

"Most of all — I would like to thank the fans, who to this day still blow me away with their loyalty and love. You've always been the inspiration and the fuel for the machine!

"To Paul, I sincerely wish him and the musicians he hires nothing but the best."

All four members of the Polish death metal band Decapitated have been released from jail as they await trial of accusations they raped a Spokane woman.[...]As part of their release conditions, Judge Julie McKay ordered them to stay in Washington, but they can leave Spokane County until ordered to return. They were ordered to turn in their passport, and in the case they do return to Poland, were ordered to sign waivers of extradition, meaning Poland would be required to extradite them to Spokane.

Warrel Dane, frontman for such bands as Nevermore and Sanctuary, has unfortunately passed away this morning. According to Dane's guitarist Johnny Moraes in an interview with Brazil's UOL, Dane died overnight from a heart attack and could not be revived.

"He died in the night. He had a heart attack. He was in the apartment where he stayed during the recording of the album when it happened. I gave him cardiac massage and we called the Mobile Emergency Care Service (SAMU), who came very fast, but when they arrived, he was already dead."

Dane was currently in the process of crafting his first solo album in 10 years. Rest In Peace Warrel, and thanks so much for all the phenomenal music over the years.
